< Psalmi 64 >

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,
2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora
Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.
3 koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,
Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.
4 da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.
To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.
5 Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”
They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'
6 Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.
They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.
7 No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.
And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
8 Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:
And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
9 svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.
And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
10 Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.
The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
